Sun's just peaking up like that when I walk out the door in the morning. I head west when I get to the lake so it's not in my eyes. In the evenings I go the other way, but Punkin's not inclined to go for long evening walks, maybe it's the heat, maybe it's just the way he is. Mornings and evenings are quite pleasant out.

Daytime...not so much. It's either too hot or it's raining.

When my grandparents retired back in the 1960s, they moved from Gibsonton, FL, to Lake Panasofkee in Sumpter County about an hour north of Tampa and they shared the lake with gators, After my grandfather died in the 70s, she remained at the lake and kept fishing, often by herself, out on the lake. She even had pet names for some of the gators. When I visited, I asked her why she wasn't worried about the gators.

"They've been here a lot longer than us," she said. "They are kind enough to let us enjoy their lake." Grandma died in 1994 at age 99. She was quite a lady.

Dude is fundraising off of his deceased first ex-wife. Anyone surprised? Is there no bottom for that guy?

The US Secret Service ERASED text messages AFTER they were ordered to preserve them.
At this point, anyone who was alive during the Kennedy administration is automatically going to imagine the worst because this makes the USSS look like Anwar Sadat's "security" detail.
Sorry, the American people can no longer trust the Secret Service to PROTECT Joe and Jill Biden, simple as that.

Secret Service erased text messages from January 5 and 6, 2021 -- after oversight officials asked for them, watchdog says

A few months ago there was something going on with FLOTUS Secret Service and two guys arrested for pretending to be agents. And ol’ Joe got rid of his agents for the same ones he had as VPOTUS.

It’s just amazing how deeply sick our government has become since that sedition fomenter took over in 2017.

Biden would be safer with his security in the hands of Bloods and Crips than with the Secret Service and that's a fact.

His security is in the hands of the Secret Service.

Are you suggesting that the Secret Service is a corrupt organization with deep roots in the Republican Party and is probably planning some nefarious end to the Biden Regime?

That they were a part of the Jan 6 coup attempt that was only thwarted because Mike Pence didn't get into that car?

The proof lost with the deleted texts...?

Juicy little conspiracy theory.

Ever hear of Tony Ornato?

Pretty sure a Pence Aide is not a Q-MAGAt. smile

Then the answer to my question is yes, you believe the Secret Service is more a danger to the president than violent armed extremists.

That they are a deeply flawed and dangerous organization that can not be trusted.

It's quite a charge and I'll be looking for heads to roll soon and indictments to start flying...

Didn't their leader just resign or retire or get fired or something? Is he under suspicion or is he one of the good guys?
